Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows are locked into five-year WWE contracts, according to Fightful Select.

The full report noted that;

"Fightful was told that Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows are both under five-year WWE contracts that have them set to stay with the company until late 2027...one higher up said that Triple H had helped negotiate their decision in 2019 to stay with the company over AEW, NJPW and IMPACT, and felt badly that they were released prematurely."

The report confirmed that The Good Brothers were back for the long haul following Anderson's recent short trip back to New Japan Pro Wrestling to drop the NEVER Openweight Championship to Tama Tonga at Wrestle Kingdom 17 on January 4th.

The pair were included in the April 15th 2020 mass releases glut that later went on to be known as "Black Wednesday" thanks to the ruthlessness of the timing from WWE. They later spoke at length about WWE's - and specifically Triple H's - attempts to convince them to stay with the group during the formation of All Elite Wrestling, only to be let go at the first opportunity when the organisation entered their grim "budget cut" era of talent management. They returned to the company on the October 10th 2022 edition of Raw.
